Thank you.

This has not been dealt with yet. I have talked directly to the code enforcement office and at their direction sent photos. I was told an inspector would be sent to the property. However, the blight remains in place.

This blight has not been dealt with even though I also reported directly by phone and email with Code Enforcement and provided photo documentation. Now that it is raining on foam and fabric discards the situation will become even yuckier. I don't understand why the inspectors are not enforcing city code.

This property is somewhat improved although one side of the house has cans which could have paint or related products. Nothing happened to this property until after the Ghost Ship fire and I wondered if the word fire hazard in my original email spurred this department to get busy.

Candy thank you for staying on top of this. I have found that Code Enforcement needs constant prodding when comes to these hazardous issues. I have reported and am still waiting on some complaints that are now going on 4 years.

Please close.
